Concho Valley law enforcement is urging that if you're planning any open burning, notify the authorities in advance. Now that burn bans have been dropped, many people are taking advantage of the opportunity to burn off areas of land as well as trash and debris. The problem is that local Volunteer Fire Departments are making unnecessary runs to burn-offs that are actually being closely controlled by land owners. The time and money spent to make these runs could be avoided if everyone called Tom Green County Sheriff’s Dispatch line 655-8111 before the burn. That's especially true if you plan to burn off fields, large amounts of brush and other sizable burns. Call every day you're going to burn and save a lot of wear and tear and money for local first responders. Again, Sheriff's Dispatch is at 655-8111.
